Sustainable Web Design

Today, the internet already causes about 5% of global carbon emissions - and the trend is rising sharply. At the same time, two out of three companies in Germany have the ambitious goal of CO2 neutrality within the next ten years. But whoever communicates green must also communicate green.

How to save the planet with your website

With sustainable web design we can reduce the impact significantly and quantify the true impact, so you can become carbon neutral with compensatory measures.

How we do it?

Set-up: From a green server to economical data use, there are already a number of ways to prevent emissions when setting up a website.
 We help you to make the right choices.

Design: Colours, fonts and white spaces - even inconspicuous design decisions have an impact on the energy consumption of a website.
 We optimize the design to have more impact to your customers, but less on the environment.

Development: A proverbial "clean" code has a great influence on the energy consumption of a website and it can be optimised accordingly. We create a code to be as efficient as possible and to have a better performance at the same time.

Content & Marketing: If you publish something useless, you’re not only wasting your and your visitors' time, but also adding to the "weight" of your site and the web itself. We created a sustainable framework that balances the business and environmental impact.
